[QUOTE="DennisH, post: 116268, member: 18883"] Thanks everyone for your posts. I apologize for the delay in my response. I was waiting until after my doctor's appt. Both my prior doctor, (who has been doing bHRT for 30 years and whom I have confidence in and is now retired), and my current doctor, who also seems to know what he is doing, say that controlling the testosterone dosage will prevent testicular shutdown. I specifically asked my current doctor about this. He said that my LH is practically zero because my testosterone levels are too high, and that they will come up as my decreased dosage takes effect. Indeed, I have had little or no shrinkage, despite my too-high levels. We compared me to a picture my wife took of me when I was in my 20's :lol:. So, I don't know who to believe at this point. People on this forum have a reputation for knowing more than most doctors. The doctor approved my guestimate of 0.15 cc of testosterone cypionate twice a week (60 mg/week of testosterone). I am doing well on the new dosage. I will give it time and retest, including my LH, and post back here. It seems reasonable that if your LH is high due to low testosterone prior to TRT, there should be SOME level of supplementation you could do that would not suddenly push your LH to zero. Probably different people are affected differently. Thanks, Dennis [/QUOTE]
